Hi,

I am trying to write a sample module. I am getting error as "Invalid
module format". As I know this is error about version problem.
Here is my C file:

//INCLUDES:= -I/libmodules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/build/include
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/config.h>

#if defined(CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) && (!defined(MODVERSIONS))
#define MODVERSIONS
#endif

#ifdef MODVERSIONS
#include <config/modversions.h>
#endif

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
//KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,8);

int
init_module()
{
    printk("<1>Hello World - this is the kernel speaking\n");
    return 0;
}

void
cleanup_module()
{
    printk("<1>Clean up function - this is kernel speaking\n");
}

Makefile is :

Makefile for kernel module

CC:= gcc
LD:= ld
CFLAGS:= -O -Wall -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DLINUX -DMODVERSIONS
INCLUDES:= -I/lib/modules/2.6.8.1/build/include

#No need to inclue the following line
#All: khello.o
#khello.o: khello.c /usr/include/linux/version.h Makefile
khello.o: khello.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1/include/config/modversions.h Makefile
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) -c khello.c

#khello.o: khello.c /usr/include/linux/version.h Makefile
# $(LD) -c $(CFLAGS) -r $^ -o$@ $(INCLUDES)

        /sbin/insmod khello.o
        @echo "insmod hello.o to turn it on"
        @echo "rmmod hello to turn it off"
        @echo
        @echo "X and kernel programming not mix"

clean:
        rm -f *.o core
#warning: loading khello.o will taint the kernel: no license
# See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about
tainted modules
# Module khello loaded, with warnings
          
Regards,
Saee
